Parents and members of our church family have a responsibility to teach and model worship for children. We teach them the value of regular public worship and how and why we worship. We model living lives of worship. If we as adults are not modeling these things, the long term effect on our children is significant.

But we as adults can learn a lot from children about worship as well! They worship with uninhibited joy and out of a pure response to God’s love in their lives. As adults we often let our inhibitions and the weariness of life choke out that joy. The worship life of our congregation and families is blessed when adults and children learn and grow together in living lives of worship.
